Zebedee

Zebedee was a Judean fisherman from Bethsaida, Galilee who was the father of James and John, two of Jesus' Twelve Apostles, and the husband of Mary Salome. Jesus came to him and his sons as they fished in the Sea of Galilee, and Jesus told them to come with him and become "fishers of men"; James and John joined Jesus and left Zebedee on the boat.
